I was little unclear on that detail. It looked like they created a dyson ring around it or one of its moons. But I may have missed sometime crucial here. I know Saturn is supposed to emit more energy than it absorbs so maybe that is teh explanation (no idea if Saturn emits enough energy to power that ring station he ends up: I kind of wanted to know more about it. My understanding is scientists generally have a lot of respect for this movie. I'd be curious to know how the blight problem can be addressed because I had a similar thought to you on this but I don't know enough about biology to be sure it would be a problem. The theme that gets everyone is love as a force, in that speech that Anne Hathaway gives. I must admit the first time I saw the movie, I was like "okay I can kind of see what she means" but this time it felt much more forced. However I also realized from her point of view, this theory falls apart because she is being drawn to that planet by her love for Matt Damon (think his name was Mann in the movie). But that ends in a disaster and clearly Damon is NOT motivated by a love for anyone but himself (I really enjoyed his performance more this time because the first time I just thought he was playing a complete A Hole, and this time I realized there was a lot of interesting internal conflict driving his behavior: he is the guy who thought he was humanity's hero and realized he was just meant to die on a rock merely to send data back to earth, and he couldn't accept that. As an example I remembered him being much more ruthless with Mathew McConaughey, but he is kind of only half killing him and half looking at what is going on. He is still a villain and an A hole, but there were more notes in the performance than I had initially recalled I liked the 2001 vibe of much of it. I will say on this viewing one critique I have is with Kubrick everything moved along at a pace that felt right to me (not sure quite how to put this but the elapsing of time convinced me of slow space travel). Whereas this movie, even when the dialogue was making clear that they would spend two years during the journey in cryo-sleep, felt like things moved more as in star wars (like you can hope in a craft and loop around a black hole with ease). Not sure that is a mark against the movie, but it kind of stuck out a little more on the view</blockquote>
